Password manager

pass is a password manager inspired by the Unix philosophy. It has a command-line interface, and uses GnuPG for encryption and decryption of stored passwords.

The passwords are encrypted and stored in separate files, and can be organized via the operating systems filesystem. A password file can contain additional text, such as the Username, the Email address or comments.

There are several GUIs available, such as QtPass for Linux/Windows/MacOS or Password Store for Android. A syncing system is not implemented, but syncing can be achieved, by syncing the password files with an external Tool.
